"Be prepared for some high-energy interactions, true-to-life settings, and sharp narrative hooks as Dr. Bradshaw fashions the pieces and fits them together into an intriguing mystery. This College President creates a believable character who is clever, resourceful, willful, and resolute in finding out all he can, as his secret enemies lead you astray. He does not always know exactly what to do, but failure is not an option—it's not even a possibility! Through tremendous personal strength and self-discipline, all the bad forces in his life are running for cover! Just remember you won't know the final outcome for quite some time, so reserve judgment until the entire ensemble of characters—including the authorities, trustees, reporters, bystanders, and perhaps some cagey evil demons—create a complete and coherent plot."

"This is a gripping narrative of intrigue, crime, and diabolical possession in the unlikely setting of a Christian college in a small Indiana town. Thanks to his extensive theological scholarship, pastoral service, academic administration, and successful fundraising, Dr. Bradshaw's characters, events, and settings ring true. He also knows how to tell a good story that no reader will want to put down."

"Sinister Among Us is a fast-paced, provocative story that will stay in your consciousness long after you turn the last page. The plot explores the possibility of demon possession to explain the myriad of problems confronting Cyprus College and threatening Brad Green's attempt to salvage the school. My skepticism about the reality of demon possession has been seriously challenged, if not totally erased. The book is highly recommended."

"Why do such seemingly good, up-standing people choose to do evil things? Almost daily we struggle with how another great individual has fallen to temptation with seemingly uncontrolled weakness, be it a multiple-term congressman, the CEO of a major corporation, or local community leader. What motivates people who have achieved so much to risk it all for such low reward and end up throwing away their reputations, careers, friends, and families in exchange? Dr. Bradshaw explores an answer as old and as unnerving as the question itself: could Satan be working to destroy the lives of those we most admire? Dr. Bradshaw uses a small town USA setting to demonstrate how easily Satan could unleash sinister evil by exploiting our weaknesses. He nudges the reader to an unsettling question: could Satan be controlling people in your local community, people whom you work with, volunteer with, or even you? The answer may frighten you."

"The reader is drawn into the intrigue and relationships of the "town and gown" setting in a small college town, along with the added dimension of unanswerable motivations that might well be attributed to demons at work. Dr. Bradshaw guides the reader through an easily understood explanation of demonology, adding to the reader's understanding and suspense as the story unfolds."

"No human arena is exempt from the corruption of mankind's noblest endeavors. Dr. Bradshaw's story, set in academia, explores in-depth the power and subtlety of manipulative, degrading, and ultimately destructive human behavior. Through drama and dialogue the reader is exposed in depth to the spectrum of evil's origins and society's best efforts to contend with life's profoundly negative forces. Dr. Bradshaw's debut novel is both provocative and instructive. The reader will come away strengthened by its insights."

"Did you ever consider the possibility that someone you know might be demon possessed? How would you know? How could you find out? Sinister Among Us is a story that reveals just how feasible it is that the devil may be someone you personally know. While the characters in his story are fictitious, this mesmerizing story is based on Dr. Bradshaw's lifetime research and academic knowledge of demonology. The story takes place on a modern-day college campus where everyone is someone just like you and me. A must read (even if he is my Dad)."
